South Road Properties

If your in Cebu you might as well pass the free way which starts in Carbon Market and ends in Minglanilla. I think that will be a 20 min drive, almost free from traffic lights. The project was made around 2005, which allows trucks, private cars to go on a shortcut instead of passing through the way. One of the highlight is the vast sea just beside the road. Sometimes, when we pass there around 7 am, you could actually see fisherman’s in their boats. At times, a large ship passes.

Although there might be certain problems that took about during the project.

THE Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) 7 has assured there are no more road right-of-way (RROW) acquisition problems in the ongoing Cebu South Road Improvement Project.

The project monitoring report of the Regional Development Council (RDC) 7 infrastructure development committee states that as of Sept. 25, packages 1 and 2 of the P785.17-million road project is still behind schedule at 22 percent and 17.87 percent, respectively.

Released

But DPWH 7 Director Juanito Abergas refuted the report, saying construction has been continuing and the notice of cash allocation for the RROW acquisition was already released.

Earlier, problems on RROW acquisition were blamed for the delays, which also resulted in an increase in acquisition costs from P10 million to P14 million.

Ahead of sked

Abergas also corrected the report that the Cebu South Coastal Road Project (CSCRP) has fallen 33 percent behind of schedule and that pre-construction activities were suspended “due to insufficient financial requirements.”

According to Abergas, pre-construction has been ongoing and works on the P2.53-billion tunnel segment of the project, which is aimed to be in place under the Plaza Independencia and McArthur Blvd. by 2008, is 1.6 percent ahead of schedule.”

Still, you need to visit this place and see the beautiful Cebu.
